"Flemish Proverbs" (Dutch: "Nederlandse Spreekwoorden"), also known as "The Blue Cloak" or "The Topsy Turvy World," is a 1559 oil-on-oak-panel painting by the Netherlandish Renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. This intricate work is renowned for its depiction of a complex scene in which Bruegel illustrates numerous Dutch language proverbs and idioms, bringing them to life through a series of literal and often humorous visual representations. The painting is a testament to Bruegel's skill in composition and his keen eye for the foibles of human nature, as well as his ability to weave together a tapestry of social commentary and moral lessons.

Measuring 117 cm × 163 cm, "Flemish Proverbs" features a panoramic village scene bustling with activity, where more than a hundred proverbs are depicted through the actions of the painting's characters. These proverbs address a range of human experiences, from wisdom and folly to vice and virtue. The work serves as both a reflection of 16th-century Flemish culture and a universal commentary on the human condition.

"Flemish Proverbs" is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and its anthropological significance. It is housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, and remains a subject of interest for art historians, linguists, and cultural scholars. The painting's enduring appeal lies in its ability to engage viewers in identifying and interpreting the various proverbs, many of which remain relevant to this day. Bruegel's masterpiece is a pivotal work in the Northern Renaissance, showcasing the artist's unique blend of narrative artistry and social observation.
